As a footnote here now.

It's New Years Day and the daughter of the Sheetrocker shows up on my doorstep and ringing our doorbell and in tears. She's maybe 20 years old too and expecting to become a part of a family Company. ( As was quickly explained when she came into our house.)

All of their family are disgusted by the GC and his antics - according to her story. She told us about the GC telling them ( the rockers) to just cover everything up and just ignoring any openings in walls and ceilings. In her words - "just ignore it and the other mechanical trades will take care of it".

Wifey and I then called the plumbers and the HVAC guys that I know well from other jobs with the same GC and we all had wound up with the same problem with - NOT the rockers - but with the orders - or CO's - as he called them "change orders".

Unfortunately this same GC had given all the HO's the same story. He had mentioned that they would all have to pay and extra 10 grand for - now get this - EACH - 10 grand if they wanted the work done.

I'm glad we've run him out of town now.

Calgary next I wonder?
